1
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Come into the game plan. We're here in Big Bear

2
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: AI Command centered studio and we're here with our head coach,

3
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: Gan Quinn and the legend Loblegan Pauls and I'm your host,

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Brian Cope Junior and coach. We talked last week about

5
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: the short run around. Now we had a little bit

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: of extra time. Yes, how did you utilize that extra time?

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, after two games you want to see some of

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: the things that have gone well with the things that

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 2: you want to apply.

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 3: And so it's not a buye. It's not that.

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 2: But we're only two games in and so what are

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: the things skill wise we want to improve on, scheme wise,

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: and it's really functioning as a whole group. That's the

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: communication any good unit. You got to put these times

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: in together. This needs more attention. This we need to

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: do more of and that's what we did.

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 4: So, as you said, it's not a buye and obviously

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 4: the timeframe is different.

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 3: Yep.

20
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 4: But how and again I'm assuming you always self scout

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 4: and are looking for the corrections, like how is it

22
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 4: different than like a regular week? You know what I'm

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 4: saying that way, because yeah, the extra day is in there.

24
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's a player. I was like, this is weird

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 4: because it's not really a day off, you know what

26
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

27
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we wanted to come back make corrections from

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: two games on a Monday.

29
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 3: What parts needed more attention, what parts needed more Thursday?

30
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: I got you, I got you.

31
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: So we put two games into one in terms of

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: corrections and things we want to nail. And that's what

33
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: we really dug into because as you're getting started, the

34
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: best of the best teams function well as a group.

35
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: What needs more time not just your skill work individually,

36
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: but what do we need to get better as our

37
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: whole group. That's to me, when we'll be at our

38
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: best when two plus two equals five, we're communicating, we're

39
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: talking better, like the cohesion and so not every single

40
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: part needs more time, but the things that do you

41
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: shine a light on and coach.

42
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: As we look at this offense, we lost a big

43
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: member of it, a true leader, yes, in Austin Eckler.

44
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: But whenever you lose a player, it's a chance for

45
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: the other guys to step up. Those other guys on

46
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: that depth chart, how excited you need to see what

47
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: this running back room can you with this extra opportunity Yeah, it's.

48
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: Hard because in the NFL you hear the next man

49
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: up and like that's good for the outside, but internally

50
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: it's way bigger than that.

51
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: You know, often made a huge impact.

52
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: Here on and off the field, the performance, the standards,

53
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: the professionals, and the teammate. So when those moments happen,

54
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: it won't be just one. But at the running back

55
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: spot specifically, we're really excited about this group.

56
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 3: Man.

57
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: You've heard us talk about this group where we're at

58
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: what we can do, and so we are fired up

59
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: to see you know, guys are unique, they're different, and

60
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: we'll feature them in that way, but we are very,

61
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: very excited to see them really let it rip.

62
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 4: And we've talked a lot about Bill and obviously Chris

63
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 4: Rodriguez had a great preseason. But a guy that's kind

64
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 4: of just mister steady Eddy that's been here, kind of

65
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: mister consistent as McNichols. Can you talk about what makes

66
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 4: him unique and like the experience love he brings to

67
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 4: the group.

68
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was such an important person. He's he's one

69
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 2: of the glue guys here. He just if you want

70
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: to look at it, doing it right over and over,

71
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: that's the professional. He does not get tired of doing

72
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: it right again and again on offense, on special teams,

73
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: and like to have another person like that, you know,

74
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 2: in Bill's ear going through it, given examples, going through

75
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: it again. That's a great teammate and he is definitely

76
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: that and more.

77
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: You talk about great leaders, and you talk about great teammates.

78
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: I think of Deeble Samuel Senior. Yes, he's only been

79
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: here for a short amount of time. However we've seen

80
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: you guys use him in a myriad of ways. How

81
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: valuable is it to have a Swiss Army life like Deebo.

82
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: Sam Yeah, he's He's an incredible competitor, he really is.

83
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: And uh, you haven't seen all the things by any.

84
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 3: Stretch out of that he can do. Uh.

85
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: Hell, he'd make a hell of a nickel a safety

86
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: linebacker half the time, Blitzer. But I think you're seeing

87
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: like his whole skill set and so and a number

88
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: of it is excellent. It's a receiver, it's you know,

89
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: on a kick return, it's getting the ball out of

90
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: the backfield. It's all of those, which makes defending a

91
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: player like that so damn difficult because he's not in

92
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: a location where you might traditionally play man to man

93
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: or play on somebody. So having a guy that can

94
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: do different jobs. Think of it in basketball, where like

95
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: why is the five bringing the ball.

96
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: Up the court?

97
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: Like it's not supposed to happen, Like okay, but this

98
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: is what we're gonna do. It makes it a real

99
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: challenge and he is a factor.

100
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: And do you have a conference because I was kind

101
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 4: of thinking through it's like, well, he's kind of like

102
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: Cordell Stewart, but that seems like a disservice to me,

103
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 4: or you know, maybe Marshall Fock from flexibility. But again

104
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 4: the physicalities. Ever, do you have someone that you say, oh,

105
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: he really strikes as this kind of competitor.

106
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: One of my favorite players had a play style and

107
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: I never coached him.

108
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 3: I love coaching against him.

109
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: Was a Kwon Bolden and there was an intensity that

110
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: he brought as a receiver that I just loved. And

111
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: Debo's different, but he has an intensity about it. So

112
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the play style logan, but

113
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: for damn sure, is the competitor the play style. The

114
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 2: closer it gets to the first down, the closer it

115
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: gets to the score, the more likely he's going to

116
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: get it. Yeah, those are good traits that show up

117
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways, and you have to be

118
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: a really smart player to do all.

119
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: The things that he does.

120
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: And he's in the backfield, he's on this side, he's

121
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: over here, he's returning kicks.

122
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 3: So he has really put the work.

123
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: In to allow himself to play this game at full speed.

124
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: Seems like every time we sit and talk, we talk

125
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: about the test that an offensive line is going to

126
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: go through because of all these past rushers, right, Michael

127
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: Parsons last week. Now we have a defensive him, Max Crosby,

128
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: that we're going against. How do you prepare for a

129
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: guy like him and this Raiders defense?

130
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's everyone really and to be at our best, Brian,

131
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: we have to have balance. You know, when you play

132
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: a game that you're one sided, it tilts to their

133
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: advantage and that's not how we want to play for sure.

134
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 2: But getting back to Crosby, just like an absolute slayer man,

135
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: he's an absolute competitor, speed, length, He plays almost every

136
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: snap like he's that much of a factor. So yeah,

137
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: we held him in high regard, and but that is

138
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: also life in the NFL and the talented guys and

139
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: things that can do things that other people can't. And

140
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: we saw it, you know, over the like, you know,

141
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. But this is this is what

142
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: it is. And you've got to find your matchups and

143
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 2: neutralize those, you know, when you can.

144
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 4: The football puristsould be really loves seeing you know, Brian Burns,

145
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 4: Micae Parsons and that Max Crossby and just how differently

146
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 4: they get it done. Like, what's his thing that is

147
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 4: different than the same mico right, like, because they they're

148
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 4: all effective in their own different ways, but they got

149
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 4: that that special pitch, that special quality. Yeah, what's this

150
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: special thing?

151
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: I would say there's two of them that makes them special.

152
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: One Logan like his effort level and relentlessness is elite.

153
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: And they gotw hard that is to battle the you know,

154
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: the three hundred and thirty pound tackles all the time

155
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: and still have that same ability to do it again

156
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: the next play, and do it again the next play,

157
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: and do it again the next play. Players like that

158
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: who can just do it over and over again, like

159
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: they are so rare because it's really hard.

160
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: To do that.

161
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: And then he is very slippery, Yeah, so he can

162
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: really right and that's a trait in itself because it's

163
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: not the same surface. He can get lower, he can

164
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: do things that others can't. So he is unique. But

165
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 2: man as he loved playing. You can tell even vond

166
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: have such a good connection from all the past for

167
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: us work.

168
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: You know they've gone through the years, but.

169
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: He's definitely somebody that hold in high regard around our.

170
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: League and coach.

171
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: Sticking with our defense, you've setting your press conversation, I

172
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: want to see more commanders football. What does that mean

173
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: in regards to this defense that we're going to see.

174
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, just I hope you and the fans that

175
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: when they're watching just see it all over the tape.

176
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: You know, the speed, the hitting, the finishing, and when

177
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: we hit those markers, that's when we're at our best.

178
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: And so I just want to see that in every phase,

179
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: every play. Make sure like, hey, that's how we get

180
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: down all the time. And it's super challenging to do.

181
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: And but we have really high standards as a group

182
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: and I'm certain that we'll meet them.

183
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 4: And I guess my question would be, is like how

184
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: do you do that? Like is I you know, I'm

185
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 4: I came from a different era a little bit of

186
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: football where it was like, if you want to get tougher,

187
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: we did tough things. But now the restrictions are a

188
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: little bit different. How do you guys make sure that

189
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 4: that gets across every single day in practice?

190
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: Well, good news. I don't have any question about our toughness.

191
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: I mean, like, I don't want you to think you

192
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: have to do more hitting. You have to finish more

193
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: and you have to make sure like your leverage is right,

194
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: you're going to take your shots on the ball. But

195
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: there is an element of just relentlessly finishing the play

196
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: and like this play, this play, and not.

197
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: Picking and choosing when you go. I just have to go.

198
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: You never know what it's to play, right, and so.

199
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: This might be the one and I'm going to go

200
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: and find out. And if I can't go, we got

201
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: another group to go in. And so that's why having

202
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: a rotation is so critical.

203
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 3: And what makes a.

204
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: Guy like Crosby so unusual is that he can play

205
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 2: that hard and almost play every play, and so it's

206
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: such a challenging thing.

207
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: But that's what I want us to see.

208
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: Love the attitude where we're going to be, But I

209
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: almost want to make sure that every time we get

210
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: down like that, everybody sees that. I'd to say it's

211
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: always going to go your way, but I just want

212
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 2: to make sure that, like our style looks intact all

213
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: the time.

214
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: And Coach, we talked about that loss of Austin Eckler

215
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: and what that meant for the entire offense.

216
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: Yet we look at a defense, we're losing.

217
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: A guy and wise, who's bringing that Super Bowl champion experience?

218
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: What do you want to see from the depth Because

219
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: we have a lot of young guys on that defensive line,

220
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: they're going to get a chance to really get some

221
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: playing time. What do you want to see from that?

222
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's important when you're playing and you're

223
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: getting moved up, like you don't have to put the

224
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: kpe on. You have to do your role really good.

225
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: And as a young guy, I'll.

226
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: Just do it more. I'll do it extra you like, no, man.

227
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: Do your job really really well.

228
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: And that is plenty.

229
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 2: And that's what I want to make sure we get

230
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: across because that's the messaging. You want this opportunity so bad,

231
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: you can know it's right there and then do it

232
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: to your level at a remarkable level. But if you

233
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: try to jump outside of a gap or do something different,

234
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: then you're actually throwing a wrench in the system. So like, man,

235
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: do your thing at high level. We've got belief and

236
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: trust in the guys that are in there, and so

237
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 2: losing a guy like Whise it's a big deal. And

238
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: these other players who are going to take up some

239
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 2: of that space, they're ready for that.

240
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: And Coach, we can sit and talk to you all

241
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: day long, but my favorite part of the show was

242
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: coming up film study with you and Logan Paulton. Coach,

243

00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: Okay, command is Family.

Speaker 3: And head coach Dan Quinn. Now for more from head

253
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: coach Dan Quinch.

254
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: Coach with Finish Grade show before we let you go,

255
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: there's a relationship in bond that you have with Pete Carroll.

256
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: You guys go way way back. Bobby Wagner has a

257
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: bond with him as well. How excited are you to

258
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: be able to compete against him again? And what makes

259
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: a guy like Pete Carroll, who's done this for so

260
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: long such a great competitor?

261
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think one. Yeah, I've got a lot of

262
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: you know, gratitude for him. And I a defensive line

263
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: coach for a long time in the NFL and gave

264
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 2: me the chance to do it as a coordinator, And

265
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: so that takes belief and it also instills confidence. Just

266
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: like a we do down to the players as a

267
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 2: head coach, you can also do that, you know, to

268
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: your assistant coaches and help.

269
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: Them develop and help them grow.

270
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: And so I learned early on Man that he have

271
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: a philosophy and was rock solid about it. And oftentimes,

272
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: as a play caller that goes to become a coordinator. Okay,

273
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: that's all there is, but the coordinator who becomes a

274
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: head coach just you have to adapt and change and

275
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: make sure the philosophy. You're not just coaching that unit anymore,

276
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: you're coaching the entire team. And it was so clear

277
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 2: that he was connected to the entire team and I

278
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: felt that philosophy and learned it and got to live it,

279
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 2: and so yeah, tons of gratitude and hopefully I'll put

280
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: my own flavor on my own. But you know, ten

281
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: years ago that was a really impactful time for me

282
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 2: to have that kind of belief and confidence. And you know,

283
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: now I hopefully I get to pay that forward to

284
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: some other assistance, you know, through my time in Atlanta

285
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: and Dallas and here.

286
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 3: It's one of the things I enjoyed the most.

287
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: So is that the thing you feel like you've taken

288
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 4: from him as kind of that energy and that passion.

289
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 4: I mean, because one of the things that always struck

290
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 4: me as a player, it was just your ability, like

291
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 4: you just love of the environment and to create an

292
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 4: environment that everybody loves. And I always assumed you got

293
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 4: that from Pete. Is that something you from me?

294
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: I think it probably was enhanced there.

295
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: And I'd always enjoyed the coaching, the relationships, the energy

296
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: that went to it.

297
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: But he was really impactful.

298
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: Man, do it in your own authentic way, and I thought,

299
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: what a great way to go about it. But having

300
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: a philosophy not just defense about the whole team. How

301
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: do you want the whole thing to look how should

302
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: it run? In like a little four year span, I'd

303
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: worked for two excellent head coaches and Nick Saban and

304
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll wanted to the Dolphins and one of the Seahawks,

305
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: and they did it in different ways, but man, they

306
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: were rock solid and a philosophy. I think as any

307
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: leader and like, you better explain the of how you

308
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: want things done and how it's going to go. And

309
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: those two were super clear at that and so it's

310
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 2: no surprise that they did as well as they did

311
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: because there wasn't gray area, there wasn't ambiguity. It was

312
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: this is how we're going to go about our business.

313
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,400
